Regarding collecting dead endangered, protected, threathened species, I
too would like to collected the dead ones. Looking at it from a
bureaucratic point of view how do I differentiate one that was collected
and killed by someone a day or two ago versus one that died a natural
death a day or two ago? Unless we can provide an answer to this dilemma,
and I don't believe we can, the assumption will remain it was illegally
collected and we are guilty. The protection of the species is the
paramount concern of the agent not our collecting interests.
